[In quoting from Fur-Seal Arbitration Papers, the first edition is always referred to.] 

' Fur-seal Arbitration. App. to XJ. S. Case, vol. 1, p. 591. 

2 Catches for years ISns to 1879, inclusive, are made up of Northwest coast catches (Fur-Seal Arbi- 
tration ; British Commissicmers' Eeport, p. 207 et seq.) ; Indian canoe catches (British Commissioners' 
Report, pp. 207,'208), and sliin.s obtained through the Hudson Bay Company's trading stations (British 
Commissioners' Report, p. 213). 

3 Catches of pelagic sealers and Indian canoes (British Commissioners' Report, pp. 207, 208), and 
returns from Hud.son Bay Company's posts (British Commissioners' Report, p. 213). 

^ San Francisco custom-liouse records ; Deputy Collector Jerome's letters of February 26 et seq., 1892, 
on tile in Treasury Departmeut. 

5 Catch of schooner Citij of San Diego (British Commissioners' Report, p. 208). 

^Catches of pelagic sealers in North Pacific and Bering Sea (British Commissioners' Report, p. 209), 
and returns from Hudson Bay Company'.s posts (British Commissioners' Report, ]). 213). 

' Catches in North Pacific from all sources (British Commissioners' Report, ])p. 210, 213). 

"Marketed catches from Bering Sea (Britisli Commissioners' Report, p. 210) plus 2,000 skins seized 
on schooners Onward, Thornton, Carnlena, and San Diego (H. H. Mclntyre's manuscript report to 
Alaska Commercial Company, a copy of which is in possession of Departnient). 

'-'British commissioners' estimated catch of American vessels in all localities (British Commissioners' 
Report, p. 212). 

'"North Pacific catches (Britisli Commissioners' Report, pp. 210, 213). 

" Marketed catches from Bering Sea (British Commissioners' Report, p. 210) plus 8,910 skius seized 
in Bering Sea and unaccounted for by British commissioners; 11,901 skius were seized that year 
(United States Counter Case, p. 337), and the British commissioners, on page 210 of their report, 
account for 2,991 of them. 

'2 North Pacific catches (British Commissioners' Report, pp. 211, 213). 

"Bering Seii catches (British Commissioners' Report, pp. 211. 212). 

'^North Pacific catches (British Commissioners' Report, pp. 211, 213). 

"This figure, 27,450, is the sum of the figures 22,530 and 4,920, the origin of which will be found 
under note 16. The British commissioners, on nage 18 of their reuort, give the approximate total catch 
as 68,000. 

"'In a letter from the British foreign oftice to the Secretary of State, dated May 17, 1895, the Bering 
Sea catch of British vessels for 1891 is quoted at 29,146. It lias been found by this Department that 
these figures represent the total catch in Bering Sea — that is, including seals killed off the western 
side, in Russian waters, as well as off the. eastern side, which afterwards became the award area. 
This is borne out by the fact that it apjiears by the British case before the tribunal at Paris that 41 
vessels were warned out of the American side of Bering Sea between June 29 and August 15, 1891, 
under the modus vivendi of June 15 of that year. It is certain that many of these vessels crossed over 
to the Russian side of Bering Sea and continued sealing until the close of the season. 

Statistics made by Mr. Alfred Fraser, now in possession of the Treasury Department, show that 
8,432 skins were thus taken on the western side of Bering Sea in Russian waters. Of these, 6,616 were 
taken by British vessels and 1,816 by American vessels. We should, therefore, deduct from the Brit- 
ish figures (29,146) the sura of 6,616, leaving 22,530 as the British catch in the award area — that is, the 
eastern side of Bering Sea — for the year 1891. 

It further appears from Mr. Fraser's figures that the American catch in Bering Sea in 1891 was 
6,736, of wlii<li 1,816 were taken in Russian waters and 4,920 in the award area. Adding to the cor- 
recteil iJiitisli catch, 22.530, the catch of the American vessels, 4,920, we have 27,450 as the total catch 
of British and American vessels in that part of Bering Sea known as the award area for the year 1891. 

In the report of the (Jommittee on Ways and Means to accompany H. R. 8909, Fifty-third Congress, 
tiiird session. Report No. 1849, the catch in Bering Sea for the year 1891 was given as 23,041, on the 
authority of the Treasuiy Department. These figures included only the returns of British vessels, as 
no reliable returns as to American vessels were then in the possession of the Department. The result 
was reached by deducting from the estimate given liv Consul Meyers in his report (United States 
counter case), 28,605, a number of skins estimated to have been taken oft' the Russian coast. This 
estimate was reached by a careful examination of all catches referred to in the affidavits and other 
papers in the case and counter case of the United States and Groat Britain, excluding those which 
were claimed to have been taken oflthe Kussian coast. 

That the Briti.sh returns (above cited), 29,146, inchide seals taken on the western side of Bering Sea, 
from the itussian herd, will appear, as above stated, from the fact of the warning of said vessels, under 
the modus vivendi, ami their subsequent crossing to the Russian coast. 

The report of the minister of marine and fisheries of Canada for 1891 credits none of the catch to 
Russian waters. In 1892, however, said rei)ort credits 14,805 skins out of a total of 53,912 from said 
Asiatic shores. The fact that this large catch was made in 1892 points strongly to similar catches in 
the year 189], which are contirmed bv the above-mentioned evidence. 

" Obtained by subtracting the total of 27.450 and 8,432 from 68,000. 

"* See United States counter case, page 408. 

'■' Taken from Alfred Fraser's estimates for American sealing fleet in Asiatic waters. Skins entered 
in United St;ites ports. 

-" The smallness of the number 2,199 suggests that either many of the vessels after clearing sailed 
directly for the Japan coast, or else the catches off the Northwest coast were transshipped at Japan 
ports. 

'^' The American catch for 1893 is based upon statistics compiled by A. Fraser and on file in the Treas- 
ury Department. The United States consul at Victoria states (Consular Reports No. 161, p. 279) that 
American schooners in 1893 transsliippeil at Yokohama and Hakodate between 17,000 and 18,000 skins. 
This is further confirmed by the report of the Canadian department of marine and fisheries for 1893, 
page clsviii, which gives the catch of American vessels landed at Hakodate as 18,587. 

'^■-' The figures for the catches of Canadian vessels are taken from the report of the Canadian depart- 
ment of marine and fisheries for 1893, page clxvii. 

^3 The London trade sales for 1893 account for the disposition of 109,669 pelagic skins. 

2'' Com]iiled from the reports of collectors at ports of entry on the Pacific coast. These reports are 
on file in the Treasury Department. 

25 The figure 2:!,710 is obtained by taking the 6.836 skins noted under the caption "Locality undeter- 
mined '' in the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress dated January 21, 1895 (Fifty-third 
Congress, third session, Ex. Doc. 243), and dividing them between the Asiatic and American herds in 
similar proportions as the other skins landed at United States ports in United States sealing vessels 
during 1894. The result would be: American herd, 6,152; Asiatic, 684. Adding 6,152 to the catch on 



28 

the Northwest coast (12,398) already given and the Boring Sea catch (5,160) already given, we have 
the t/Jtal 23,710. 

">Made up of skins as per records of collectors of customs on the Pacific Coast, whicli credit 1,500 
to Asiatic waters; 684 sliins, previously referred to in note 25, and the 20,000 skins which it is esti- 
mated were transshipped in Japan (Ex. Doc. 243, Fifty-third Congress, third session. "Notes con- 
cerning catch for 1894," p. 4). 

" Taken from report of Canadian department of marine muiI fisheries for 1894, page 9. 

The flgvires 26,425 include one American vessel, whose catch was 84 skins. 

The figures 49,843 contain the catches of three American vessels, which aggregated 490 skins. 

The facts in the two foregoing paragraphs are given in a report of Fisheries Commissioner Costigan 
to the Governor-General of Canada, under date of January 9, 1895, jiage 9. 

2* Reports of collectors of customs at American ports of entry on the Pacific Coast. 

29 Official statement sent by United States Consul Koberts at Victoria, under date of November 15, 
1895, and on file in the Treasury Department. 

30 Dead Pups.— The grand totals for 1894 and 1895 do not include dead pups. In 1894, by careful 
estimate based upon partial count, 20,000 pups perished, and in 1895, by actual count, 28,000. This 
would swell the known deaths, exclusive of the land catch, in 1894 to 161,143 and in 1895 to 121,326. 
See note 37 for dead pups for 1896. 

The pelagic catch for 1895 is further increased by a catch of about 10,000 skins taken by vessels 
clearing from Japanese ports.
